Solinst Model 101 P2 Probe Water Level Meters

Description

Solinst Model 101 P2 Probe Water Level Meter features the P2 probe that is stainless steel with a neoprene strain relief. They are not suitable for submergence to any significant depth and are easy to repair.

Details

For measuring the depth of water in wells, boreholes, and standpipes, the Solinst Model 101 P2 Probe Water Level Meter is the most accurate and reliable meter. It is sturdy, easy-to-repair and read to 1/100 ft. or to each millimeter.

The Model 101 Water Level Meter uses a choice of probe designs, attached to a permanently marked polyethylene well tape, fitted on a well-balanced reel. It is powered by a standard 9 volt battery housed in an easy-access battery drawer. The conductors embedded within the well tape each have seven strands of stainless steel for strength and flexibility. The probe incorporates an insulating gap between electrodes. When contact is made with water, the circuit is completed, activating a loud buzzer and a light. The water level is then determined by taking a reading directly from the tape at the top of the well casing or borehole.

The high quality polyethylene well tape reels smoothly, remains flexible and hangs straight in the well, irrespective of temperature. Permanent markings at each millimeter or 1/100 ft. allow accurate readings, traceable to national standards. Stranded stainless steel conductors resist corrosion, provide strength and are non-stretch. They make the tape very easy to repair and splice. The dog-bone design reduces adherence to wet surfaces. Markings are permanently impregnated onto one side of the well tape in your choice of scale.

Standard reels are ergonomically designed for good balance and ease of use, with a stand-alone design, convenient carrying handle and an excellent brake. They are robust and smooth running. The battery is housed in a convenient battery drawer and each reel has a probe holder and brake. The reels are equipped with an on/off sensitivity switch, light, buzzer, and a battery test button.

Questions & Answers

The Model 101 P7 water level meter features a 4.5 oz, pressure-proof probe rated to 500 psi and laser marked PVDF tape. The probe is submersible up to 1000 ft with almost zero displacement. The Model 101 P2 water level meter features a 7 oz, shielded, stainless-steel probe and heat embossed polyethylene tape.

Does the 300 ft water level meter require the medium case or a small case?

The 300 ft Model 101 P2 water level meter will fit inside the small carrying case.

In The News

Groundwater typically makes up more than 30 percent of California’s annual water usage, according to the state’s Department of Water Resources. But during times like the current prolonged drought, groundwater becomes more important, meeting 46 percent of the state’s annual needs.
With the rising dependence on groundwater in dry times, scientists have begun looking for ways to fill up depleted aquifers and keep flush those still filled with water. The goals have led to new approaches, like one coming out of a research project led by scientists at the Universities of California, Davis and Merced, that looked at structures somewhat overlooked in times of low water levels: flood levees.
The study took place along the Cosumnes River, the last major undammed river in California.

Environmental sensors can measure almost any physical parameter in nature, but sometimes they can overwhelm the science they are supposed to support.
Jason Hill, an assistant professor of engineering at the University of Southern Indiana, wants to create a water level model that will help wetland restorers understand and predict water level fluctuations by studying water loss through the ground and evapotranspiration.
The problem is his next project site has too many variables to measure. So, he’s taking an old fashioned route based on empiricism and water level measurement.
Hill said that conventional techniques for estimating evapotranspiration require site specific micrometeorological data, like solar radiation, wind speed and vapor pressure.

Chris Lowry’s idea was simple: set up staff gauges on local streams and leave a sign requesting passersby read the water level and text the data to a phone number. Data from text messages would be recorded and then posted to a website for public use.
It was the beginning of CrowdHydrology , a crowdsourcing project that recently gained U.S. Geological Survey support for expansion into several Midwest states. Though it won’t generate as much data as official USGS stream gauges, the project will generate data points that supplement those lost from official gauges shut down following federal budget cuts.
Lowry, an assistant professor of geology at the University at Buffalo, set up eight pilot sites in New York in 2011 in an attempt to crowdsource water level data.

Shipping and Delivery EstimatesThe 'Ships' timeframe is an estimate of when the item will ship from our warehouse. All items will ship at one time unless you specifically request partial shipment. In which case, the items on your order will ship as they become available. The 'Delivers' timeframe is an estimate of when the item will be delivered to your shipping address after it ships. The estimated delivery time depends on the shipping method you choose during checkout. All estimates are based on business days.

Remember that these estimates are for time in transit only, and that they do not apply until the product leaves the Fondriest warehouse. As the delivery of your order is beyond Fondriest's control once your order leaves the Fondriest warehouse, we cannot assume liability for late deliveries, regardless of the delivery method you specify.

Signature Required on Most DeliveriesMost of Fondriest's shipments contain valuable equipment. If you will not be at the shipping address to accept delivery of your product, consider shipping the item to an address where someone you trust will be available to sign for your package, or accept your package if a signature is not required for the delivery. Once your order has prepared for shipment or has shipped, we are unable to change the shipping address. Title and risk of loss to all products will pass to you on delivery. If you are willing to assume the risks of delivering your order without a signature, you may authorize Fondriest to arrange for a delivery that does not require anyone to be at the delivery address.

Undeliverable PackagesOccasionally packages are returned to Fondriest as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to Fondriest, please contact us to make arrangements for reshipment.

Failed Delivery AttemptsMost of Fondriest carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. After three delivery attempts, the carrier will return the package to Fondriest.

Order ProcessingThe estimated shipment date on your order is based on product availability, payment processing time, and warehouse processing time and does not include transit time. We do not begin payment processing until Fondriest receives all of the information that is needed and full payment or a full authorization, in the case of credit card or rental orders.

Fondriest will begin payment processing for orders placed on weekends or holidays on the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Product AvailabilityFondriest makes every effort to ship your product according to the estimated lead times. The estimated lead times are in business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).

Although Fondriest makes every effort to ship your order according to the lead time provided, shipping dates may change due to changes in supply. If the lead time changes, Fondriest will contact you via email and provide a revised shipping estimate.

Fondriest makes every effort to supply the products you order, but there may be occasions when Fondriest confirms orders and later learns that it cannot supply the products, either at all or in the quantities ordered. Although rare, these occasions can include when Fondriest learns that the products no longer are being manufactured or they otherwise become unavailable, when Fondriest cannot source components for the configuration you ordered, or when there was a pricing error at the Fondriest Online Store.

In those circumstances, Fondriest will inform you and, if you are interested, Fondriest may suggest alternative products that may meet your needs. If you do not wish to order alternative products, Fondriest will cancel your order for products that cannot be supplied and for any other products that you no longer wish to order as a result, and will refund your purchase price.
